Lauren Swanson Is Reportedly The Most Formally Educated Among The Duggar Daughters And Wives

Most of the Duggar kids don’t necessarily get the chance to pursue higher education, but Josiah Duggar’s wife, Lauren Swanson followed a different road in life. She was homeschooled just like her hubby and all of his siblings, but she also pursued her degree at Georgia Military College and studied nursing.

Both Lauren and her younger sister, Lily did an enrollment program there that allowed them to earn college credits and take high school classes simultaneously.

After the program, they did not just get high school diplomas, but they also received an associate’s degree.

All of these make Lauren the most formally educated of the Duggar daughters and wives even if she may be the youngest of them all.

‘Coming to a college was kind of scary for us,’ Lauren said about referring to the transition from homeschooling.

She continued and explained that ‘I was not used to sitting in a classroom with other students. I was used to doing schoolwork on my own at my own pace. And in college you have deadlines. You had to hurry up and finish your work. I don’t learn very quickly, so I had to spend extra time with the books.’
